I never had much of a relationship with my father after puberty. Before that I was his Tom boy and it was easy for him. But he was a man’s man from the greatest generation. Pretty stoic. Then when mental illness hit at 25 he couldn’t deal. Blamed my ex husband and cut me off. I had no relationship with him the last 10 yrs of his life. He died pretty young, 63. It’s sad.
